Everything that has been said so far is on target, and I'll add a few more:

A good leader has vision -- a clear idea of where the chapter should be headed -- and doesn't just hold things together. He or she can communicate that vision to the chapter and get people to "buy in."

A good leader brings out the best in other members of the chapter. He or she recognizes talents, entrusts tasks to people with the right talents, builds up the confidence of members in their own abilities, and encourages everyone to be the best they can be.

A good leader knows it's not "all about me." It's about the chapter (or the larger community, or whatever).
